Zafarana Terminal
Zafarana Oil Terminal, situated along the Red Sea coast near Zafarana
in the Suez Governorate of Egypt, serves as a key facility for the export and
import of crude oil and petroleum products. With substantial storage and
handling capacity, it plays a critical role in regional oil transportation,
connected by pipelines to major inland production areas like the Gulf of Suez
and the Western Desert. The terminal features efficient loading and unloading
facilities for oil tankers, significantly contributing to Egypt's economy through
oil exports, generating revenue and creating local jobs. Environmental
regulations govern its operations to minimize impacts on the marine ecosystem,
and safety protocols are in place to prevent spills and accidents. Recent
investments by the Egyptian government aim to upgrade the terminal, enhancing
its efficiency and capacity to meet rising global demand, solidifying its
importance in the nation’s energy sector and economic stability.
